- I have come across a few purchased books which had zero compression on them.
- Bad code/formatting could bloat the EPUB (oh the horrors I have seen).

- For example, including a bold font when no bold is used, or a smallcaps font when no smallcaps are used.

Your list is fairly complete, I see you have been working on this issue a few times
I will add: Retailer demanded Bloat. Thumbnail covers, Hi-Def covers.
The best gain on sub-setting a font would be for those 'Display' fonts that might be only used for Chapter titles, Initial Letters.
Is there a EASY way to
later determine that the
books font file has been sub-setted ( I was thinking of a Quality check PI type test)?
